transcriptScreenshot from Thomas Dietterich on X: "Attention @arxiv authors: Our Code of Conduct states that by signing your name as an author of a paper, each author takes full responsibility for all its contents, irrespective of how the contents were generated."

With a reply from James Miller: "So this means you expect every author to check every citation and make sure that every citation is real and accurate? What if it's beyond the ability of one of the authors to verify one of the citations because that citation is in a language he doesn't know or concerns technical material he doesn't understand but another author on the paper does?"

I mean in that case then the question is "do i trust my other authors"

Indeed, you should trust the other authors but that is the whole point of the response in the original post.

He is forcing his students to use "AI" to write papers.

Who are you referring to and where do you get that from? Edit: Ok, got it. The response in the original picture is by some weird (possibly delusional) LLM enthisiast as pointed out by Lvxferre. I do not think this totally relevant to the comment you responded to though.
